LncRNAs and Chromatin Modifications Pattern m6A Methylation at the Untranslated Regions of mRNAs
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 New roles for RNA in mediating gene expression are being discovered at an alarming rate. A broad array of pathways control patterning of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation on RNA transcripts.

Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]
, 2010 For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

CRISPR guides induce gene silencing in plants in the absence of Cas
Genome Biology, 2022 Background RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas can provide potential advantages over DNA editing, such as avoiding pleiotropic effects of genome editing, providing precise spatiotemporal regulation, and expanded function including antiviral immunity.

Identification of novel components of Trypanosoma brucei editosomes [PDF]
, 2003 The editosome is a multiprotein complex that catalyzes the insertion and deletion of uridylates that occurs during RNA editing in trypanosomatids. We report the identification of nine novel editosome proteins in Trypanosoma brucei.

Detection of genome-scale ordered RNA structure (GORS) in genomes of positive-stranded RNA viruses:Implications for virus evolution and host persistence [PDF]
, 2004 Discrete RNA secondary and higher-order structures, typically local in extent, play a fundamental role in RNA virus replication. Using new bioinformatics analysis methods, we have identified genome-scale ordered RNA structure (GORS) in many genera and ...

Trim25 is an RNA-specific activator of Lin28a/TuT4-mediated uridylation [PDF]
, 2014 RNA binding proteins have thousands of cellular RNA targets and often exhibit opposite or passive molecular functions. Lin28a is a conserved RNA binding protein involved in pluripotency and tumorigenesis that was previously shown to trigger TuT4-mediated
